Kiss Me Deadly Longline Vargas Girdle

The best quality girdle every woman desires

Reviewer: Nymeria, a going steady straight female

This was one of the products I've wanted for a good while and finally gave in when I realised that it doesn't stay in stock for long! I have previously purchased a similar item by Kiss Me Deadly called the Candy Box Longline Girdle. The main difference is that the Candy Box girdle was a roll on and didn't have the adjustable clips on the back. In my review I'll try and explain this product as well as give a comparison to the other girdle.

Style, Look and Quality:

There is one thing you can expect from any Kiss Me Deadly garment and it's that they scream quality. This original style girdle will not let you down. The fabrics are strong stretchy net-like fabric that is not scratchy at all. I love how there are opaque panelings on the girdle. There is a main opaque block area going horizontally across the midsection- hiding any lumps and bumps. And the half sheer fabric is held tightly along the sides to the back where the hook clips are securely held. There are 3 different size clippings you can adjust to.

There are 6 strong metal garter clips. These are places outwardly so that there is a clear highly cut rear design. The other roll on girdle does not have this feature. On each garter there's a black bow and also another on the front at the top hem. This adds a beautiful feminine touch.

Fit, Support and Comfort:

As a size 18 I purchased the 18-20 XL size. I found that this fit comfortably for me. However it was quite a struggle to wear the first time round. The adjustable hook sizing were a wonderful touch as I think it's perfect for a person who's not always the same size and/or wishes to put on or lose weight. Be aware though- It fitted well for me on the largest hook setting. For a size 20+ it may fit uncomfortably tight.

I found a clear distinction in support from this girdle and the roll on one. There was more support on this. I think the opaque reinforcement lines have an effect as the other doesn't have this either. There is no doubt that this girdle helps create the most painless gorgeous Marilyn Monroe effect! I absolutely adore it and it makes me feel stunning.

Packaging and Delivery:

Delivery is fast and discreet as always even with the free option! The girdle came in just a see through plastic bag which I was happy with as it was easier to get into the product. I'd advise extra gift wrapping if intended as a gift, however I found the minimal packaging eco-friendly.

Verdict:

Without a shadow of a doubt a staple piece in my lingerie drawer. Every woman needs one of these to bring out their assets. Only criticism is that I don't always wear stockings with it and the garters get in the way. However, if they were detachable I don't think they'd be as stable. I love wearing this under everyday clothing as well as a lingerie piece. Gorgeous with and without a bra if you're feeling naughty.

Note: I've also created a makeshift bustier out of this successfully.

Pros
Dare I say it... Everything? Long length, design, pulling-in effect.

Cons
Maybe detachable garters? Can be a struggle putting on and off.

Bottom Line
Gorgeous piece of staple lingerie! Well worth every pound.
